Anna Reynolds is caught up in the middle of a
secret interdimensional government agreement... and she doesn't even know it.

There's a medical anomaly loosely dubbed Morgellons disease afflicting a number
of people. Symptoms include open sores that produce colorful string-like
fibers, fatigue, and nightmarish visions of shadowy figures. No one knows where
it came from. No one knows what causes it. There is no cure.

When Anna begins having nightmares and waking hallucinations of the shadow
people, her uneasiness about her condition grows. Enlisting the help of her
doctor and some friends, Anna is determined to find out what's really going on
and why Morgellons is such a mystery.

With her health declining and doubts about whom she can trust, is Anna doomed
to become a slave to her condition? Or will she and her unlikely group of
would-be heroes come through, saving her... and, ultimately, the world?

EXCERPT

Standing
slowly with her palm pressed to her eye, she spotted a tiny clump on the
counter not far from the tweezers. It looked like balled up blue and red string
wrapped in eye goo. But when she touched it gingerly with her fingertip, it
felt hard, similar to rock or crystals. She turned off the water.

Not
wanting to leave this cluster of strange unattended, she picked up the tweezers
again and pinched the whole mess between the tips. Cupping her left hand
underneath, she took it to a kitchen counter and turned on the overhead light.

Squinting
her hazel eyes, she poked at the tiny mass with the tip of the tweezers,
suddenly wishing she had another pair.

“What
the hell are you...?” she muttered under her breath, trying to keep her
breathing shallow so she wouldn’t accidentally exhale it away and lose it. She
noted that her eye felt perfectly fine. A little sore, but not bad. She decided
to get a toothpick from the silverware drawer and pinched the balled up fibers
in the tips of the tweezers again. Just in case.

As
she loosened the tweezers and brought the toothpick closer to the tear duct
excretion, she watched the blue string she had pulled on stretch itself slowly
toward the wood.

“No
way,” she muttered, moving the wooden toothpick closer. She moved it left, then
right... each time she moved it, the tiny string followed. She saw the red one
poking out from the tangled mass, too, and she dropped the tweezers and the
toothpick, stepping back and taking a deep breath as she cupped her hand over
her mouth.

What
is that?
